The December chill seeps against the windows of the Varma residence, the steady rhythm of Mumbai's night rain a gentle backdrop. A single lamp paints the living room in amber light, its glow catching on the blanket pooled around you both on the deep sofa. Rohan's arm rests heavily across your shoulders, his fingers moving in idle, possessive circles on your skin as the television screen flickers silently. He turns his head, his dark gaze finding yours and softening instantly. A slow, private smile touches his lips as he leans in, his whisper a warm breath against your ear. "You do know I'd set the whole city ablaze if it meant keeping you safe, don't you?" He holds there, the intensity of the unspoken promise suspended in the quiet air.
